Songs that just utterly tear you apart
Great song. Idiots, in my opinion have poor taste in music.
Therefore, I'm fairly sure you are no idiot.
Love Mr. Bob!
The only thing I want for Christmas is a Baby Taylor, so I can play Caterpillar Girl, to my daughter. I made a great song last night for her. I replaced the lyrics, to "We built this City on Rock n Roll" with "You're pink and pretty and beautiful". Because I made up a story about a flamingo in love with another flamingo.
My husband is away for a very, very, very long time working. This is for him.
opps.
The song I posted above makes me think of someone dead, far to young, who I should have been better to and taken more time for and taken care of. I used to nag myself quite often to give him a call and always put it off...
The day he left us, my list was so long and I was all caught up in so many things to do... my biggest item on the agenda, what I was putting priority in, was hanging concert posters.
I will maintain that you are no idiot, emphatically.
I'm sorry about your friend.
I lost my ex-fiance a few years ago. It was devastating. Never felt loss before.
We said "Hi" in school cafeteria a few times and flirted. Talked on the phone about my experimental vegetarian diet. And then met at a party where he got slapped hard twice, by a girl, then walked home across town to his car and drove a few more blocks to my place, on the coldest night I ever endured without a coat. We got to my apartment and I made him a hot cocoa. Even though we were still strangers, we kissed. After that, a year later, we moved in together.
We hadn't spoken in 8 years, and I contacted him perhaps the day before he passed. When his friend contacted me, I thought it was a cruel joke. He had just married 2 weeks prior.
It helped the grief to do a tribute/thought site for him.
That way, there is an on going dialogue with and about him. Posting thoughts, songs, lyrics and whatever, is good to reflect on and keeps it positive.
Its called a living tribute.
Some folks do all kinds of tributes, like songs, a book journal or even a garden. Not communicating or, if you feel you haven't given enough, is how most people feel, when a loved one passes on.
His friends had just made a few movies about him before he passed.
I don't say "ded". I can't. I just say that he passed on, to other things. That he is very busy doing great things, wherever he has traveled to. And I don't feel as alone, I feel like I'm behind. I thought about cheating, and ending things myself. But, I had a child (it was before I married or had my 2nd child), so it was a selfish thought. Plus, Kevin didn't cheat, it wouldn't be fair. I need to be brave like him and face life head on and enjoy it how it come, make the most out of every moment. And when it's my time, I will move on and do great things (if I'm lucky, I'll be with him on his team).
We can't know everything, in hindsight things are so much clearer.
For Kevin:
This is Kevin:
That's TMI, but there it is.
Sorry about your friend.
It was my little brother, and it has been nearly four years. Yes, all those sorts of things help.
My mom sued the state of california, was able to prove that the road in question had had fatality after fatality stretching back as far as anyone's memory could go. The settlement reached was that the road it happened on would be improved and made safer. My family thought she was after money, but she wasn't. My family didn't even stand with her in court or help at all, she did it all alone. I couldn't be there, I live far away from there.
Bless your heart. So sorry about your brother. I can tell you shared a deep bond.
Oh hon, you are so brave. Braver than you realize. So valiant.
You probably just act out whats right, before you have time to think twice. I bet you get misunderstood. I bet you try so hard not to step on other's feelings, while trying to save some good in the world. It's a big balancing act. Keep being a hero.
You are your mother's daughter.
I took out the song here, because silence and stillness is a beautiful sound too. And its a very appropriate sound, sometimes.
But I do think you are cool, and I'm glad I found this site. If you need to get out, and really connect, make it count. It should feel like 2nd home, like sports (roller derby?), crafting funky recycled sweater pillows or barista classes.
I don't have time to get out or babysitter. My husband moved away for a while. It's the first time I've had no one around at all. This will be a new situation, so I've got to learn how to cope.
Today, I'm depressed and overwhelmed. But I'm muddling on, with cookies and Halloween candy, as my immediate gratification crutch.
If you are in a similar situation, I'll share how I'm getting through. And vice versa.
My kids are now all old enough for me to go out as I please, most often. The two younger ones still need a sitter, but the older two are well equipped to be that sitter so as long as neither of them have other plans that take precedence. I generally have freedom now that I never knew in my life before.
It was long long road to get this far, but it happened as though I turned around and it was so.
Babies feel like they are little forever then suddenly they are not, so hang in there, before you know it you won't know what happened.
Four kids? That's really great! I want a third, so we will probably foster or adopt.
Four kids is Super Mom territory.
Thanks,
that's true. Every day seems like a century. Today, I was giving her a sponge bath and she dumped the entire bowl of soapy water in her playpen. She was so angst, that I smiled and grabbed her up and hugged her till she calmed down. So many tiny emergencies.
Yeah, this little chica's childhood will be over before I know it.
Yes four. Three sons and then a daughter.
Funny. My husbands sister had three sons and then a daughter, pretty much in the same time frame a I did, so I must have ended up with them as some sort of sibling rivalry between them.
The idea that it was a rivalry between them sounds a bit absurd, just a funny coincidence really.
Except, then his younger brother had three sons and then a daughter. Keeping with tradition, I suppose. Or proving no biggy he could do that too?
Coldplay's The Scientist just came on and I'm here at school trying not to start crying.
Nobody said it was easy
It's such a shame for us to part
Nobody said it was easy
No one said it would be this hard
Such a loss. I think on the 24 November (the anniversary of Freddie's death) I will listen to non-stop Queen all day.
Ah, I love that song, Alecia.

I didn't know that song, where is it from ?
And yes, Freddie's death was so sad. Everyone was in shock.
that song is really damn good.
Yeah, I love those girls. Good music!

A Day At the Races.
and on a different note...
the full album this is off of is actually the one I draw to, always. My real drawings at least. I need this album for that, to make it work.
James has given me this song... again. (I despise the term 'dedicated to')
Also, not a 'tear me apart song', but he had me listening to this one at 6:30 this morning, as he said it made him think of me and he thought I would relate and enjoy it (it did amuse me):
the person I made this topic for in the first place
because I am the biggest fucking idiot that ever was
